Throwback Thursday: 36 Bikes of Red Bull Rampage 2013

@BEERandSPOKES: Yeah there was. with the owner. We had this deal with the engineers, that if something failed they got one revamp of the failed part. But they couldn't increase the weight by more than 5%. Otherwise if it failed again, we got paid, I only managed once to get paid. It was on the Rocker links on the Skyla/Loki. The first batch would bend. the second they beefed up but i got them to bend. I got paid, 1000 if i recall. They Conspiracy was 5k. I broke the Head tube. They bought an old DEMO 9 and tested that frame to failure. It was said it had the strongest head tube of all time. Our next revision was 98% the strength if it. Trust me I sent some stupid things on that bike and never got another one to fail.

Video: Top 3 Slopestyle Runs from Crankworx Rotorua 2022

@ratherberidin: Sure they Can, and they do. Emil tried to let go of the bars on the 3 tuck down the drop. An attempt is an attempt, regardless. you see him release the bars in his run. If you do it in practice; its expected, especially since you can see him go for it. And yes i can say double flip no hands beats, truck double down whip. Truck to down whip, done, Never done a double flip, much rather toss another whip than take my hands off. Putting a run together isnt easy, never has been, never will. Emil does make it look easy. and that hurts him sometimes. I know the feeling.

@adamkat: You need to take your hands off the bars to do a tuck, Emil didn't. I would dock points for that, clearly a mistake, you can see he attempts too but doesn't. 450 DW beats the 450 Tw to invert. Trust me it does. Emil spun regular not oppo. Double flip no hander has way bigger repercussions if it goes wrong. Timmer wins here. Wall ride is a wash IMO Timmer wins up with the oppo whip. Emil wins down as his spin was OPPO. Kind of wash but in Timmer's favour. Another wash on the hitching post. Timmer went much higher on the spin, call it a wash if not in timmers favour. double flip 100P beats oppo drunk driver. Flip Triple whip beats a flip double whip/ I think Timmer had the better over all run, Won the first 3 features. Washed the middle. Won on the step down. Emil had an obvious mistake up top on the drop. The flip triple whip didnt carry enough IMHO on its own to surpass Timmer. Had Emil had to take a second run, did the exact same run but cleaned it up. I would place him 1st. Emil has the same issue I had with opposite tricks. he makes them look too easy. More unpopular opinion, I thought Fedco was 3rd.

@BEERandSPOKES: I broke one frame, which after we never had another break the same way. we only had 4 protos. I swapped to my old Specialized Demo 8 frame, which was plasti-dipped black, Banshee legends where for the year before, which i did not ride until after finals. My Demo frame has the most ever rampage finals of any bike at 4. 2012, 13, 14, 15....

Throwback Thursday: Big Sends from Past Years at the 2022 Rampage Site

No Yoloswag69-420 Sender for 2013? This list is wack. Only landed once, the other 4 attempts either guys to the hospital in an ambulance or a helicopter. or Their bike exploded.
